Implementing Computerized Substance Use and Depression Screening and Evidence-based Treatments in an HIV Primary Care Population
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Clinic-based screening and behavioral interventions for Substance Use Disorders and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 10,821 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Substance use disorders (SUDs), depression and anxiety in HIV-infected patients result in poor HIV outcomes, yet are often unrecognized and untreated. To address these problems, this study examines the implementation and effectiveness of a clinical intervention consisting of self-administered tablet-based SUD and depression screening at routine HIV primary care clinic visits, followed by evidence-based treatments for SUD, anxiety and depression delivered by a behavioral health specialist. If successful, this study has potential to reduce SUD-, anxiety- and depression-related problems and reduce HIV treatment disparities for patients with these comorbidities.

Timeline
Interventions
As part of routine HIV primary care visits, patients will complete self-administered computerized substance use, anxiety and depression screening measures. Results will be integrated into the electronic health record. A behavioral health specialist on the clinic staff will contact patients who screen positive for high-risk substance use, anxiety or depression, and offer behavioral interventions including motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy.
